Thanks for following-up. I am going to continue controlling it myself for now. I check the forums multiple times per day and delete spam very quickly. I also review reported posts. I'll still consider bringing in a moderator or two as the forum continues to grow.

Thank you very much but I cannot take the credit.  I really don't have the skill or the eyesight for things like fine soldering.  I found a website that repair classic systems (mostly 8 bit computers like the Spectrum, C64, Amstrad CPC, BBC, Atari800 etc).  they repair them and then recap them (replace the capacitors as old ones can leak and damage your motheroard). The prices are reasonable and you get it back in 3-4 weeks and it's guaranteed for a year.

I don't think, I just...
 

First, Welcome to VGR.
Second, respect. That's old school.
Third, could share more about the restoration of the old consoles you spoke of and how you get them to work these days? I can barely get a Nintendo 64 to work.

The VGR Forum has been really active the past 36 hours. Love to see it!

Even 2021 is ridiculous, if we assume that the riumours that it entered pre production this year are true them were talking 2024 or 2025.

Don't expect a release at all. That's a fools errand. If you don't see and hear it directly from R* then it's not going to happen. Some series, no matter how popular just have to end when they are standing on top of the mountain. Companies know when to quit. Say they release a GTA6. What if it bombs so bad that it ruins the entire franchise? Will you still be glad they released it? How many times have we seen that? Too many to count. We've also seen companies quit while they're ahead with a game and move on to making something else.
So if it's not on the R* website, it's not going to happen. This is like asking when R* is going to release the next Zelda or Mario game. Not gonna happen unless/until you see it on their site.
Their OFFICIAL site.

Fixed 😛

I think it's this one:

Here's an article from PC Gamer that goes into more detail, but basically Epic reduced the cost of Fortnight's premium currency, V-Bucks, on all platforms by up to 20% if you were to use the preferred payment method direct to epic games. This has not sat well with Apple as the preferred payment method paid directly to Epic bypasses their 30% cut though buying V-Bucks on the IOS store. As a result, Fortnight has now been removed from the Apple Store.
What I find amusing about this is that Apple insist that they enforce the policies and conditions on the app-store for developers/publishers to "keep people safe" They repeat that a lot in the article. My arse. This is obviously about money. I have never and will never own a piece of i-crap in my life and this is why. Apple are scum, through and through.
I'm sure Epic knew this was a very real possibility when they made this decision, but I just get the impression they're fed up how the money from mobile payments of Fortnight was split, so just gave them the middle finger. And you know what, I like that. You could call it a bit irresponsible of Epic, yes, but I think the people will rally behind them on this turning Apple into the bad guys here. Epic aren't taking this laying down either, they're already in the process of suing. Honestly, I doubt they'll win. Whilst I think Epic have the moral high ground, I'm feel ad to admit that I do think Apple has the legal high ground. Still, best of luck to them.
What do you think, was this bold move by Epic more born out of childish spite or for the benefit of the players? Is this Apple trying to be fair and is just imply asking everyone who sells goods and/services on the store follow the same rules, or are they just greedy and didn't want to lose a cut? 

First off, welcome to the forums.
 
You said you work in the gaming industry, if you don't mind my asking what do you do?

Here's the specs.
 
 

Nonsense! I have a Facebook and Twitter I use often enough and it hasn't affected my mental health at all.
 

Great review! 🙂 I watched a play through of it myself, and I thought the story was decent. Nothing spectacular by any means, but it wasn't as bad as fans were making it out to be. I am not a big fan of Abby though, and the reason why would probably be a big spoiler, so I can't say it here. 
you guys should add spoiler tags to the forum, so we can talk in more detail about the game/story here. 

Congrats @Shagger! Points awarded.

My name is Linus Game Tips btw. Don't ask :))

I'm not home right now. I'll add you when I get on my PC.

I know this is off topic, but isn't it cool when you put an old Playstation disc in an old boom box and it plays the game's soundtrack.  I think its great that Star Wars Masters of Terra Kasi will do that.

Have you added me yet @AndreiMirfi? I don't appear to have got any notifications an I dan't know your screenname or any details about your steam profile. If you don't want to share them publicly, DM me.

I've talked about this game a lot, as it's one of my favorites, and actually therapeutic for me. Those of us that are misanthropic beyond most human comprehension need something to keep us in check. I would love to do what The Antagonist is doing, but obviously I can't. So I thought I would post a video clip of the beginning of the game I found on YouTube. Mainly because I don't have a clue how to record gameplay on a PC unless I set up a camera in front of the screen like my phone or something. But that's more of a hassle to me than it's worth.

I thought AC4 was fantastic, but then didn't really play AC for a while. I got into AC Odessey more recently and I've love it. It's a very different kind of game to older AC's, more RPG like, but those elements have been done well. Yes, the microtransactions are annoying just through existing, but I it's still a really good game.

I don't feel like I'm living on another planet, but I do want to.
